  Don't expect a great film, or even a good one; rip-offs galore and plenty of nonsense cut-away/scenes. But Ronald Reagen is a huge saving grace for this beermat script. If it weren't for the weird insert of this serial killer I think I would've been pretty saddened at having lost time on it. But as it is those Reagen moments are pretty funny and strange enough to sit and wait for more. If like me you have to watch this on the TV because nothing else is on and so you're stuck with it then why not, don't bother making any effort to see it though and don't blame me if you do, you were warned.

  A strange, stoner slasher produced and directed by David Arquette (Scream). It's quite a decent modern slasher, quite odd but the back story as to why this guy goes off the rails killing hippies is explained. Less so the high regard Ronald Regan is given. It's funny in places, has a fair bit of gore, I found the tripping hallucinations a tad annoying. There is even a brief cameo from Courtney Cox-Arquette. Overall pretty good compared to many recent slasher offerings.

  If you like seeing hippies getting axed to death by Ronald Regan, this is the movie for you. Other highlights include Courtney Cox getting killed by evil dogs, and Paul Reubens covered in outhouse crap before he gets chopped down the middle with a chainsaw.

  What an odd, odd film. Political commentary meets slasher film. A guy dressed as Ronald Reagan runs around killing hippies with an axe. Lots of good gore and such, but just a really weird vibe.

  From the twisted mind of David Arquette, come the Tripper, a Horror film, that he promised would change the way we see Horror. There's no doubt that Arquette set big expectations for this film, unfortunately the Tripper fell well short of achieving it's goals. A group of hippies take a road trip to this weekend music festival, in the woods of Northern California. The locals don't want them there and pretty soon, the party goers wind up being hunted, by an ax wielding man, who is convinced he's Ronald Reagan. The cast of friends that Arquette put together for this film is impressive, and there were some terrific cameos from the likes of Jason Mewes, Courtney Cox, and Pee Wee Herman, but ultimately they didn't do much to help this film. There are some funny scenes and some great lines, aside from that, this film is nothing different from your traditional, mediocre, slasher film. The one stand out was Thomas Jane who was thrilling as the Sheriff, but the scenes that didn't feature Jane were predictable and honestly kind of dull. The setting was different, the killer was certainly a nice change of pace, and the cast was top notch, but the movie itself was nothing you haven't seen a million times and I was left feeling less than impressed.

  Ronald Reagan hacks apart hippies in this campy slasher.

• Jon O

  
  Hippies slaughtered by a man in a Reagan mask... The film's about half as good as it sounds. Which isn't very good. The politics are about as subtle as a machete to the testicles.

• Marcus W

  
  This actually reminded me of Easy Rider, in places. Very few places, I might add, when it's not being just another silly slasher film.

• John M

  
  "The Tripper" is basically just your average slasher fare with politic It's nothing groundbreaking, but it had a lot of hilarious moments and gory kills.

• Nicky M

  
  David Arquette brings us an unscarey horror comedy that is a political satire meets slasher flick. Decent gore, T&A.. & D actually, highlight this hippie, dippie, stoner... Republican? chopfest. Heeeeeere's Ronnie!

  A decent bloody & gory slasher film from David Arquette on his directorial debut.He did a good job behind the camera so it will be interesting what else he can come up with in a near future.The dialog wasn't so good,i'm sure the movie was intended to be funny at times but it didn't came through as being so funny,Arquette could've done so much with this villain wearing the Ronald Reagan mask by giving him more personality & funny lines.Besides that it was an entertaining horror film. <div style="width:710px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/servlet/embed/photo/link/10844362"><img src="http://www.flixster.com/servlet/embed/photo/10844362.jpg" border="0"/></a><div

• Jason S

  
  Fun horror romp in the forest! Very different and silly and fun and occasionally scary. Not a masterpiece for sure but good entertainment still.

• Jason R

  
  Traditional slasher movie but what sets this apart and makes it unique is the political undertone. Defenitley not likely to see anything like this film, great music, and actors, Jason Mewes at his best.

• Patrick D

  
  It was kinda cool, but not a great film. There were some great aspects though. Over all it wasn't too good.

• Donna D

  
  For a first time debut from David Arquette as first time director, he did a good job with this thriller chiller of main character sporting a Ronald Reagan mask and slashing all the flower hippies in the deep RED Forest. It lacked in some areas, but all in all, it wasn't that bad.

  A litttle good and a little bad make up this watchable horror-comedy that overstays it's welcome by just a tad. Never really that funny and never really that horrifying, but for the most part entertaining. Plus, now that Thomas Jane has a handlebar mustache they can become cool and I can grow one without being mistaken as one of the Village People. Make it happen Thomas.
